Fight To Survive by Alan McDermott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
McDermott has done it again and delivered a solid third entry into his Driscoll series. Without a doubt, this is the most action packed of the trilogy. The action never seems to stop, but it is well interlaced with moving the plot forward.
This book does a masterful job of blending the series-long saga of the ESO with a stand alone plot revolving around North Korea. Both narrative threads are equally as interesting and well detailed. To fully understand the ESO plot, you would need to read the first two books in the series. However, you could read this as a stand alone, and still understand it well. While it does not end on a major cliffhanger, there is definitely potential for a sequel.
I felt this book had the strongest characterization of the three. We got to know Eva on a deeper level - her thoughts, motivations, and core values. I thought the romance element was a bit superfluous, but it was not too over the top. The secondary characters, such as Sonny, also had plenty of moments to shine and grow.
I definitely recommend this book and hope to see more in the series!
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
